New-to-me Primare a30.2
I purchased a Primare a30.2 at a local furniture store for $300. It was described as "powers on but untested" and sold "as-is." So far, the unit looks clean and solid inside and out besides a couple things I imagine shouldn't be too hard to remedy. Would love input from anyone who knows or could advise (I have no experience in amp repair but eager to learn if needed - or bring to a professional if absolutely necessary).
1) when purchased, the cover was disconnected from the chassis and the 10 screws that secure it are missing (the owner of the store doesn't know what happened to them). I've googled but not been able to find replacements or figured out which screws I'd need.
2) the remote switch on the back panel is missing (just a hole where it used to be). Not sure if this is necessary to replace. Also not sure if I'd be able to turn it off without a remote trigger, as there doesn't seem to be a power button on the a30.2
3) interested to know if there is anything else I should be looking at before plugging this in and connecting it.
This will be powering my Sound Dynamics 300ti's, with a Wiim Ultra as a preamp.
I can comment only on (1). The simplest thing (in the USA, anyway) would be to bring the unit to a good hardware store, where the staff can gently try various screws to see what fits, and maybe also what looks good. Another way to go about it would be to contact Primare themselves, who apparently are still in business, or their distributor in your country. The Primare help page is here.
